Anyone have photo examples of blue-ish emeralds?

I am not a green person but I love the jardin and glow of emeralds. I'm thinking a blue-ish one might work. Can anyone please point out examples as I don't think I can see it that well yet?

Who might you suggest as vendors to look at? It can be a smallish size. (I not one to pay big money for most stones, though.)

Oh, and setting in yellow gold brings out the blue more, correct?

Thanks.

I wish I can post mine but I cannot even take a half-decent picture of my emerald!

Emeralds will not be over-blue so the modifier is actually quite subtle. It is bluest when under indoor lighting.

I'll share mine again...it's new to me, so sort of obsessed for the moment

Like you, I love looking at the jardin!

Love moneymeisters!

And, Frekechild has a gorgeous bluish-green, glowing emerald - pics at the link below!

I hope the pics keep coming - I love seeing them too!

Thanks Endless Summer...I have a couple more. I like seeing it close up and looking at all of the oddities that come with the inclusions. At 14 inches (the distance my own old eyes see unaided) it looks mostly clear. Up close- it is a jungle in there

Sometimes it flashes red, just caught a red flash on camera

EDIT: I agree...yellow gold brings out an emerald very well and is my preferred look with emeralds.

"looking at all of the oddities that come with the inclusionsinclusions"

+1, for sure

Beautiful, almost minty colors. This works for me; the near Kelly greens - not so much.

Here are some more pictures of mine. I left green grass in one of the pics, and they all show a variety of lighting - the one with it loose was at night under fluorescent lighting. My tsavorite is actually a slightly blue-ish green, but next to the emerald makes it look lime green!

Thanks for the shout out ES!

ETA: The big blue-green round is my Namibian Tourmaline from Barry. The smaller is my tsavorite from Barry.
